context_page_description: The 1948 Lady Caycay earthquake occurred at 01:46 PST on 25 January 1948 with an estimated moment magnitude of 7.8 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of X. The epicenter was between the municipalities of Anini-y, Antique and Dao on Panay Island, Philippines.
  The earthquake was the second biggest on record in the country as it caused widespread damage in Panay and nearby islands. However, accounts of its intensity and the tsunamis it generated are sparse, possibly because the earthquake struck as the Philippines was recovering from the effects of the Second World War.
context_section_description: José María Cuenco, the Bishop of Jaro, estimated that the damage to 15 churches destroyed on Panay alone amounted to ₱7,000,000.
